The ‘learn as you play’ adventure garden – known as Stockwell Urban Oasis – will feature a quirky tree house designed by a local artist, as well as useful and edible plants for children to experience. The project is expected to benefit the local wildlife and enhance the natural beauty.
Oasis is also encouraging local adults to become involved with the space through gardening or helping the playground to become a more multi-generational space, and to generate more volunteers for the charity.
The project has been supported by Spacehive, an online platform that helps anyone design and fund neighbourhood improvement projects. Spacehive’s open financing platform allows any local person to contribute towards the costs of making community projects happen and improve their local area.
